Our Isle of Ely design depicts an 1830 cover of James Bentham’s The History and Antiquities of the Conventual and Cathedral Church of Ely, from the foundation of the monastery AD 673 to the year 1771. Bentham’s work is an exactingly crafted ode to the magnificence of the cathedral and the ancient curiosities held within its walls. The illustrious monument sits in the English region of the Cambridgeshire Fens, also known as the historic Isle of Ely, so called because it was only accessible by boat until its waterlogged Fens were drained in the 17th century.
